    Maybe because their favourite football team plays there .... ( owned by some pricks from Florida and the Cayman Isles ....)

    Oxford United (Nuneaton) Match Thread

    I don't see what else he can say. He took over a sinking ship. He is starting from the lowest point in our last 50 years. I don't doubt his ability - problem is more trying to get players to come to us or being able to pay what they think they are worth. Probably the reason it is all last...

    Oxford United (Nuneaton) Match Thread

    TM knows what we need by now. We will probably lose to Wigan, but Even with a top squad we would have problems against them. We have a top quarter of the League budget, experienced manager and are playing in Cov. I don't doubt that we will get half decent loan players. They will have to bed in...

    Back to Court on Wednesday 8th July 2015

    wouldn't letting a half council owned company go under have an effect on the CCC credit rating and possibly mean higher interest rates on their borrowing in the future? Genuine question.

    Two legal articles on the case against Coventry City Council

    It is a factual report on the decision. This argumentation will have to be overturned if SISU are to win, so it is relevant. It doesn't matter who posted it or why. We know about it and it is just a reminder should anyone have forgotten over a period of time. It will be interesting to see if it...

    Hope you're happy, Torchy, Grenduffy, etc

    Doubt whether SISU will win. They weren't forced into anything and their reputation was not perfect anyway. I just hope they are well and truly kicked into touch. After that they either appeal again or maybe try to build a football team to sell ( or maybe both ), but at least we can get on with...

    Wasps new deal with Compass

    Plain and simple. SISU also dug a hole for themselves - and, as opposed to CCC - are still well and truly in it. Let's hope they can increase the value of CCFC by running it as a football club - forgetting the stadium for at least the time being and losing the JR and JR2 - and aiming for the...

    Wasps new deal with Compass

    "No doubt that will be confidential but what it does show is that when CCC were stating that it was absolutely impossible for SISU to take ownership of ACL without honouring the term of all the contracts in place they were again painting an incorrect picture." They have renegotiated the...

    Coventry City Ladies.

    I would say that if SISU were going to get a large chunk of their investment back by changing the name and colours, they would do it and wouldn't have the same decency as yourself in asking if we were ok with it.

    sorry to say but

    Based on the past, your prediction seems very realistic. You could even write Mowbray's and Waggot's December press releases for them now. But.... let's give it a chance. It is still early days and there is no law of physics that says CCFC always end up out of the top six. ( It only seems that...

    sorry to say but

    Well aware of our plight - most clubs take it for granted that they have a ground and are not starting under a transfer embargo. I am still more optimistic than for several years. We are not getting our first choice signings, but that is where we are. The game ( getting players in ) is by no...

    sorry to say but

    We have no transfer embargo. We have a budget - League 1 style. We have a ground - at least to the end of the season. We have an experienced manager. We have a shop that is stocked. We have decently priced ticketing. I live abroad so cannot buy a ST ( can't get home enough to warrant it), but I...

    sorry to say but

    Yes, but I wish they would come to Kiel. Kiel had a great season in the German third division and just missed out on promotion. Would love to host the travelling city fans in my "Coventry" pub - my home from home..

    Mowbray wants to bring back Proschwitz permanently...

    Actually it is. KL were looking for promotion to the Bundesliga last season and should be up for it this season. They have tradition and a good fan base. My brother is ST holder there and he and his mates want him to play for KL.

    Jack Warner says the difference between a bribe and a gift is that with a bribe, you expect something in return. I think he and others treated England's goodies as a "gift" and not a bribe as it wasn't enough and not in hard cash. Hence we lost.

    Has nothing to do with England. Has to do with Billions of Dollars, bribery and corruption. He has blagged his way through several crises and allegedly made sure lots of money flowed to projects - without stringent checks - in countries who would vote for him. Plus FIFA itself is non-profit...

    Fifa officials arrested

    The decision to do 2018 and 2022 was not absurd from the point of view of Blatter and his cronies. They couldn't guarantee being in power for the next decision - partly due to age and partly due to constant accusations of corruption. Better to get the "goody bags" ( as Jack Warner called the...

    Fifa officials arrested

    I thought it is registered as a "Verein". That means a "Club" e.g. Rabbit Breeders Club - not a charity. It means that they do not have to provide the transparency the a PLC or Ltd company does. They have no shareholders to answer to and Blatter doesn't have to disclose his salary. The rules are...

    Problem being penalty clauses if they break their contracts....we though, cannot sit back and enjoy a world cup in stadiums built by slaves - in part paid for by human lives - whilst the toad and his family and friends live in luxury..
